So today I saw a bit of what is to be Max Payne 3. This is my analysis....WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?! WHAT IS GODS NAME DID THEY FUCKING DO TO MAX PAYNE? HE DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE MAX PAYNE, HE LOOKS LIKE VIN DIESEL WITH A FUCKING BEARD. AND SINCE WHEN DOES MAX PAYNE TAKE PLACE IN FUCKING BRAZIL!!! THIS IS BEYOND TOTAL BULLSHIT. ROCKSTAR GAMES TOOK OVER DEVELOPMENT AND FUCKED IT ALL UP INTO SOME MORE CURRENT TREND STUPIDITY. THEY MIGHT AS WELL HAVE HAD IT DONE BY EA. THIS IS THE EXACT REASON WHY I LOST ALL INTEREST IN GAMES. ITS ALL ABOUT MAXIMIZING A FUCKING DOLLAR RATHER THAN MAKING SOMETHING WITH QUALITY. ITS PROBABLY A BLESSING THAT SHENMUE III ISN'T HAPPENING, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE RYO BLASTING GUNS AT LAN DI WITH LIL WAYNE'S STUNTIN' LIKE MY DADDY PLAYING IN THE BACKROUND. GOD DAMMIT I'M SICK OF THIS SHOVELWARE SHIT!!!!

I agree that I'm a little put off by what I've seen so far combined with it not being Remedy working on it. So I'm not really paying much attention to this game despite enjoying the first two. But I guess I'll just have to see how it develops. (But really, multiplayer with bullet time?)

It isn't looking good, and that feeling appears to be universal. Nonetheless I have some faith in Rockstar Vancouver to develop a good game, as they did previously with Bully. Gameplay videos weren't even shown yet and of course, all can change just like that if the Rockstar corporates also think that this is not the way a Max Payne game should be going and this project gets canned almost before it hits the ground. Rockstar has a number of other projects coming out soon (the next DLC for GTAIV, Red Dead Redemption, Agent; and I'm pretty sure they must be preparing the announcement of others like a new Midnight Club or handheld GTA) so it isn't like it's depending entirely on Max Payne 3 right now. I would doubt that it will come out this year and there's still a lot to do.

Of course, i'd be very surprise if it'd be anything as good as the original two games, but that's more than understandable. Let's aim for "fun to play" and "fan-pleaser".

Who knows if the whole game will take place in Brazil? Who knows if there won't be flashback sequences where you play as old Max and all the crazyness of Max being bald (too much shampoo?) and fat (too much booze?) and in Brazil makes full sense.

I don't think that it isn't anything but reasonable to just wait and see. And if it disappoints, it disappoints ..

Kanye approves of this hilarious all caps rant.Jeff do you like fishsticks?

I couple days ago I started a "Gamers Against Shovelware" group on facebook since there was no other group on the subject. Its starting to explode and have already 10 people join. I hope it really catches on.
